The Weibull variate is commonly used as a lifetime distribution in reliability applications. Estimation of parameters is revisited in the two-parameter Weibull distribution. The method of product spacings, the method of quantile estimates and the method of least squares are applied to this distribution. A comparative study between a simple minded estimate, the maximum likelihood estimate, the product spacings estimate, the quantile estimate, the least squares estimate, and the adjusted least squares estimate is presented.

This paper is concerned with the simplification of complex linear time-invariant systems. A simple technique is suggested using the well-known least squares method in the frequency domain. Given a high-order transfer function in the s- or z-domain, the squared-gain function corresponding to a low-order model is computed by the least squares method. Then, the low-order transfer function is obtained through the factorization. Three examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

There are two rotation matrix parameters in a model, pro-posed by Prentice in 1989, for pairs of rotations in 3 dimensional space. For the least squares estimates of the two parameters, an algorithm was also presented, but it turned out that the algorithm could fail to get the least squares estimates. This article provides another algorithm for the least squares estimates and its performance is demonstrated by simulation results.

Ever since Gauss discussed the least-squares method in 1812 and Bertrand translated Gauss's work in French, the least-squares method has been used for various economic analysis. The justification of the least-squares method was given by Markov in 1912 in connection with the previous discussion by Gauss and Bertrand. The main argument concerned the problem of obtaining the best linear unbiased estimates. In some modern language, the argument can be explained as follow.

In this paper, we introduce an escalator (ESC) algorithm based on the least squares (LS) criterion. The proposed algorithm is relatively insensitive to the eigenvalue spread ratio (ESR) of an input signal and has a faster convergence speed than the conventional ESC algorithms. This algorithm exploits the fast adaptation ability of least squares methods and the orthogonalization property of the ESC structure. From the simulation results, the proposed algorithm shows superior convergence performance.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic properties of asymmetric least squares estimators for nonlinear regression models. This paper provides sufficient conditions for strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators and derives asymptotic relative efficiency of the pro-posed estimators to the regression quantile estimators. We give some examples and results of a Monte Carlo simulation to compare the asymmetric least squares estimators with the regression quantile estimators.

A unified procedure for principal component regression (PCR), partial least squares (PLS) and ordinary least squares (OLS) is proposed. The process gives solutions for PCR, PLS and OLS in a unified and non-iterative way. This enables us to see the interrelationships among the three regression coefficient vectors, and it is seen that the so-called E-matrix in the solution expression plays the key role in differentiating the methods. In addition to setting out the procedure, the paper also supplies a robust numerical algorithm for its implementation, which is used to show how the procedure performs on a real world data set.

The first-order least-squares meshfree method for linear elasticity is presented. The conventional and the compatibility-imposed least-squares formulations are studied on the convergence behavior of the solution and the robustness to integration error. Since the least-squares formulation is a type of mixed formulation and induces positive-definite system matrix, by using shape functions of same order for both primal and dual variables, higher rate of convergence is obtained for dual variables than Galerkin formulation. Numerical examples also show that the presented formulations do not exhibit any volumetric locking for the incompressible materials.

A system identification is to estimate the mathematical model on the base of input output data and to measure the output in the presence of adequate input for the controlled system. In the traditional system control field, most identification problems have been thought as estimating the unknown modeling parameters on the assumption that the model structures are fixed. In the system identification, it is possible to estimate the true parameter values by the adjusted least squares method in the input output case of no observed noise, and it is possible to estimate the true parameter values by the total least squares method in the input output case with the observed noise. We suggest the adjusted least squares method as a consistent estimation method in the system identification in the case where there is observed noise only in the output. In this paper the adjusted least squares method has been developed from the least squares method and the efficiency of the estimating results was confirmed by the generating data with the computer simulations.
